‘*When we were able to ask for
' specific areas of assistance, we got
good response. We specifically got
a lot of help in getting someone
who knew how to speak ‘bank’.
They got us an ex-banker to help
us understand exactly what the
banks wanted,” said Lilly.

Lilly’s company is currently
responsible for filling cavernous
arenas throughout the world with
sound from the likes of local
rockers Bryan Adams and Lover
Boy. .

For example, the company
employs 11 full-time staff members
who either accompany Adams on
the road or are employed building
and maintaining the firm’s $1%4
million worth of equipment.

The company made a profit of
approximately $30,000 on
$600,000 in revenues last year.
Revenues for this year are pro-
jected at $1 million.
